Walk through God’s own country-Kerala with executive Chef of Fairfield by Marriott Bengaluru Outer Ring Road & Limca book record holder Sudhir Nair & MasterChef Michael Swamy where they showcased the best of Land of Spice.
It’s all about recreating the age old traditional receipes which their grandparents & parents used to prepare at home during festivities. Taste, Health & quick cooking using readily available ingredients were the highlights of the Class.

Parippu Pradhaman, Curry-encrusted Lamb & Akki Roti were the recipe of the day.

After settling in to our assigned seating, we were served with refreshing coconut water topped with fresh cut fruits.

Having culinary expert chef Michael Swamy curate this Masterclass with our Executive Chefs was indeed a pleasure. As just like our brand, he too evangelizes well-being by giving priority to healthy ingredients while cooking. We definitely look forward to hosting many more such events and collaborations in the future to spread the message of healthy living.”

Star Chef Michael Swamy added, “It was great to co-host the Master Class with the chef. It took me back to my roots and at the same time enabled me to impart some knowledge and understanding on all dimensions of a perfect dish.” I also felt at home staying at Fairfield by Marriott, a brand that lays great focus on the well-being and productivity of the traveler through smart spaces, health conscious F&B options and a stress-free experience.
